DESCRIPTION

This mod converts Advent forces to those of the Galactic Empire. The units created for this mod mainly take their inspiration from Legends continuity. This is a partial conversion and only affects the tactical layer of the game. The strategic layer, including the tech tree, is totally unaffected.

See here for a list of what unit has changed into what: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hi5uZb8PzCTLJKUxdJG8VmS-EbajUGU-RSOy02aKNOY/edit?usp=sharing

I do not guarantee compatibility with any other mods but I only anticipate conflicts with mods that affect Advent characters and AI scripts. See the Known Issues section for known conflicts. This mod IS compatible with [WOTC] Mission Overhaul: Core and I recommend it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Vanilla/LW version?
Afraid not.

LWOTC version?
Probably not.

Where are the Stormtroopers?
Stormtroopers will begin to appear as Tier 2 Advent Troops. Tier 1 Advent Troops are Imperial Army Troopers.

Why are the Dark Troopers so big?
Because Phase 1-3 Dark Troopers are big. Only the 2005 Battlefront 2 Dark Troopers (i.e. Phase 0) had normal human proportions.

KNOWN ISSUES

If you switch from the Bounty Hunter Rulers to the Sith Rulers, or vice versa, wait a couple days on the strategy layer before accepting a mission where a Ruler will be present. This will allow the mission encounters to reset (a dead giveaway that this has happened is if the number of enemies present on a mission deployment changes).

Known Conflicts
A Better Advent
[WOTC] Enhanced Ragdoll Physics and FX (Overrides enemy archetypes)
[WOTC] Yellow Alert Gameplay V2.0 (Breaks AI)
The Hive (Overrides Chryssalid)
[WotC] RW Realistic Aiming Angles (Breaks Sith ranged deflection abilities)

Other known issues include the following:
-Chosen Assassin has bugged materials during spawn-in cinematics. (Don't worry, she appears normally after the intro.)
-When not posing as a civilian, the Imperial ISB Agent uses Faceless proportions in cinematic reveals. (At the moment I can only fix this by disabling the civilian reveal cinematic as well, so I'm not doing it)
-Troops may have deformation during cinematic reveals.
